I loved being able to walk into downtown Lahaina to shop and stroll, or to go next door to the fine restaurants and spa located there. At night you could hear the Luau next door too. Sadly it is no longer advertised. Not sure how it was affected by the fire, but Lahaina Shores will always be one of my fondest memories.

Our second time here. Our first time as a single couple. It was fun, since we got the upper pool…read morewhich was quite big and nice. That was about 5 years ago. The rooms were old and outdated. And we were not impressed with the rooms, only the pools. Fast forward to just recently we came with our toddler son. The rooms are nicer now, it looks like the renovated. Like the bathroom looks renovated and the toilet isn't the slow flushing toilets. Rooms aren't too bad. Carpet wasn't dirty as I remembered it. Beds are lumpy though and it's also the worst made bed ever. They should learn from Mexico, their beds made are perfect. Westins bed is non fitted sheets with a undersize mattress cover, every thing moves around when you move around. So by the time you wake up, half of the mattress is exposed bc all the sheets are small. Or the sheets are all messed up beyond recognition! Lol. I had to constantly make the bed myself because any small movement moves everything out of place. Pools- we were only on the kids side. The one with the slide is a pretty small pool, but the one next to it is big (not kids specific). Good pool area for kids. We liked it. Not too many chairs but enough for the day. They need more small tables for drinks. It was very limited. The pool water was also extremely cold. We came in May and the water was like ice water. Probably good on a hot day but it was windy and cold. What is odd is the pool next to the kids pool was not ice cold. It felt just right. We had to move over there. But one day it was not ice water, so it's a hit or miss with water temp. Best thing was their arcade. I don't recall they had this 5 years ago. It was awesome!! My toddler loved this. What a great way to entertain them. Also has a bar there for the adults and bowling alley. Not real bowling but close enough. It was cool. Arcade bartender made a really good lychee martini, best one I've tried. The arcade is the BEST part of staying here with a toddler. They also got a new restaurant- Ulu, which we came for breakfast everyday. It was good. Enjoyed their pool bar too. Every one was really friendly too. Overall, it's a good resort. Westin has the best resort pool and now arcade. Also close to Whalers Village. We would come back again.

I really enjoyed my recent stay at the Westin in Kaanapali. I'd say that it checked the boxes in…read moreevery regard that was important to me - convenience, great location, updated facilities, and family friendly. I came here late April 2026. When you first arrive and walk into the lobby, it is quite stunning. I don't know when their latest renovation was, but it feels updated within the past 7-8 years, modern but also keeping that nice Hawaiian touch. You're welcomed by several live plants and flowers covering the walls in the breezeway when you walk towards the front desk, and can spot a waterfall and koi pond. Rooms - As Marriott Bonvoy members, we luckily got upgraded to the room with view of ocean and expansive pool area - literally looks like the picture featured on this Yelp review. It's a stunning view. The room itself was also nicely updated! It felt modern, yet still cozy and inviting. We got 2 queens, and it seems that every room comes with a balcony. We all loved the balcony - great way to be outside and enjoy the weather, live music, and dry your swimsuits. Anyway, the room itself was very comfortable, and it's hard to find updated rooms in Maui for a somewhat decent price. I think my only complaint is that it was a bit small - it was ok for the 3 of us (2 adults + 1 toddler), but I can't imagine coming here as a family of 4 with teenagers, and have to squeeze into the small room. Swimming pools - there were several to choose from, including a designated kid's pool, regular pool, and adult only pools. They were each nicely designed and landscaped with the trees - there were several slides for each pool, and designed in such a way where you couldn't even notice them. Also, the adult pool was hidden, so little ones aren't tempted to access the adult only pool, and I'm sure it worked well the other way by not being able to hear the kids! The towel process was a little annoying. We were given several towel cards good for each towel. But the annoying thing was that we had to carry separate towel cards separate from our room key, that was a wristband. Might as well just combine the two to make it more convenient for guests? Not that it was a huge hinderance - just a suggestion. Beach access - you are basically right there, on a public beach. It was extremely convenient to be right there, grabbing our towels from the hotel and using them for the beach. If you want lounge chairs, umbrellas, etc. though, you will have to pay a fee to rent them. Obviously it's not as nice as other hotels that have that all set up for you, like we've experienced in other countries, but hey, it's just the Westin. Restaurants - There aren't too many restaurants to choose from here - but we did really enjoy the Hale Moʻolelo Restaurant/Bar. We didn't actually eat here at all, but enjoyed cocktails here every night. They have live music DAILY each evening, and welcome all ages, including our toddler. I was getting tired of the Hawaiian tiki drinks, started ordering regular cocktails, which were decent. The live music alone was wonderful each evening. There was also the Ulu Kitchen by Merriman's, which we were somewhat interested in trying, but never got around to it. Marriott Bonvoy members also get free breakfast with their stay. They did not have a designated breakfast restaurant, unfortunately, but rather they gave us credit for the convenience store that served hot food and other beverages. They had options such as Loco Moco, scrambled eggs and potatoes, acai bowls, spam masubi. Honestly it was all very disappointing food - my daughter really only liked the spam masubi that didn't seem worth it for one entree item. We did utilize the free beverage for bottled water each day though, which was convenient. Location - was wonderful too. It was located right next to Whaler's Village, which is a shopping center with lots of restaurants, coffee, an ABC store, etc. It's a short walk, and we walked here each morning to get coffee, have my toddler run around, and also walk around with her in the stroller during her naps. The hotel is also located with just a few minutes drive to Lahaina, where more restaurants were. Amenities - they have random pet parrots that come out during the daytime, which my daughter loved seeing each day. Fun to see the fish in the koi pond. Also, they have random vendors/activities in their breezeway where the shops are, including pineapple tasting, hat making, etc. which can be fun for the little ones. The arcade was also pretty amazing. Some of the games have this "play until you win" feature, which was really nice for all kids playing to win something. My daughter was hooked. Elevators can be slow. We found that the ones located on the side closest to the front desk were faster than the ones closer to the Arcade! Just realize that this place seemed like it was intended for families, but it was executed quite nicely. Would highly recommend.

This room also had a terrace overlooking the Pacific ocean where we could enjoy the view and trade winds. This hotel is right on the beach and has a lot of fun amenities and activities on site. If you prefer you can also walk next door to the Hyatt Vacation Club and enjoy some quiet time at their adult only pool. On check in we were helped by Jeff on the World of Hyatt desk. Jeff is a wonderful human being who is caring empathetic and is a master of customer service. He is an outstanding problem solver. Jeff is warm, welcoming and attentive to detail. He is also fast and efficient. It is clear Jeff does the work of ten people and accomplishes it with style and grace. It is outstanding people like Jeff that convinces me of the value of Hyatt Globalist status and motivates me to only book my hotel stays world wide with Hyatt. Double highly recommend.

Located within the heart of Lahina along the west coast of Maui, this property is conveniently located within walking distance of restaurants, stores, and parking - which is included in the nightly rate. The hotel is a historic emblem that has stood since 1901 - when Teddy Rosevelt occupied the Oval Office. Upon arrival the check in attendent was helpful and within minutes we had the keys to our room. While there are no elevators, it was a short walk through a courtyard to the second story via a stairwell. The room was modern, spacious, and had a nice balcony that overlooked the courtyard below. While breakfast is not included, there is a phenomenal restaurant on the first level that offers tantalizing local fare such as macadamia french toast and other excellent choices. I paid a around $1100 (after taxes) for five nights, which is reasonable when you consider the great location, comfort, and high standards of service. So, if you're looking for a comfortable place to stay in a great location, this vintage hotel will set the tone for a great trip and an excellent stay!

But we were on a belated birthday/honeymoon trip so we were prepared to spend more than usual. My husband has always wanted to stay in Lahaina so we booked 2 of our 8 days at Hotel Lahaina. Pros: Clean room Nice rocking chairs on lanai Central location Cons: The size of the room!!! The king bed took up 85% of room. The price for no amenities, self serve front desk. Parking lot a block away. No elevator (we had 2 large suitcases and assorted bags/packages). I mean, overall it was decent experience, but the price didn't make sense for what we got.

They describe themselves as an…read moreelegant 5,000 sq. ft. home with five units, each with their own private entrance and bathroom as well as a separate "honeymoon" cottage. You have the option of renting the entire property or an individual unit. For about the price of a nicer hotel, you get the creature comforts of home, privacy and quite as well. My girlfriend (ex) and I went here and Jim and Kim Wicker, who run the place and live downstairs, were perfect hosts and even lent us a tour CD that guided us along the infamous Road To Hana. Sure there are hotels right on the beach, but you wont have to dodge screaming kids running through the halls dripping from the pool or ocean, or worry about noise from shared walls. Instead you get peace and comfort. You may also get surprise fresh made treats now and then, that Kim bakes up and leaves for you on the counter after cleanup. Wai Ola is plenty close to everything. You're about 1/2 mile from the ocean and all the Lahaina hot spots. If you plan on going to Lahaina, Maui Hawaii, Try this place and you'll be very pleased. Look for me in the guest book and have a great time.

You definitely need a car if you are going to stay there, it is close to everything but not really within walking distance of anything. The cost was great; it was about the price of a hotel, but you get a pool, use of laundry facilities, you can borrow the coolers and beach stuff they have, and you get fresh baked treats. The only caveat is they have an extensive list of rules, and the owners can come across a little snarky in the enforcement of them. Like the pool can only be used at this time and that time, or you can't put stuff on the chairs by the pool, or the laundry hours are from this time to that time. They do it to create a relaxing and enjoyable environment for all the guests, and it works, but I think if they were just a bit less rigid and militant, people would still mind the rules and they wouldn't seem so aggressive. Overall it's a great alternative to a hotel, and if you like to buy your own food and plan your day according to your needs, not those of a hotel, this is the place for you. Star Market supplied the lau lau and poke, we borrowed some movies from Kim and Jim, and stayed in one afternoon, a welcome break from the activity on our 10 day Hawaii honeymoon. It's a good place to stay. Check it out.

The house is located in short walking distance to Front Street which if you don't know the area is the crowded old world street full of shops, bars and food where people endlessly stroll along all day until late night. Across the street is Shark's Pit if you are like me and want to go free diving or snorkeling with some sharks... Don't worry, there are no Great White or Tiger Sharks that I saw... Just cute little guys.... For the best deal in breakfast go to 808 Grinds not far away. For the best lunch and dinner as well as pub prices go to Spanky's Riptide which is a block away.... All in all the best value for your dollar on a nice place to stay.

We stayed at Marriott's Maui Ocean Club again a couple of weeks ago, this time in the Lahaina…read moreTower--one of the newer, more recently built/renovated towers. I was hoping to stay in the Napili Tower, mainly because I liked the pool area better--longer, more spread out, and largely oceanfront. That said, the Lahaina Tower ended up having its own perks. The biggest one is that it's right next to the self-parking structure that's used for the whole resort, which makes coming and going incredibly easy. If you're staying in the Napili tower, self-parking is all the way on the other side and I would recommend using valet instead to save you the walk. Our room was spacious and comfortable, technically "oceanfront," though it felt more like oceanview. Still, no complaints--the view was lovely, and the room itself had a convenient kitchenette with a fridge, sink, and all the basics (plates, utensils, etc.), which made snack time quick and easy. The Lahaina Tower also has its own smaller pool area, plus a few fun extras like ping pong and foosball. It's also right by Longhi's, if you're looking for an easy meal. If you want more action, the main pool area--with the large, winding pool and additional dining options--is just a short walk away. The weather during our stay wasn't the best--it was actually pretty chilly by Maui standards following the heels of two major storms--but we still had a great time. Between the comfortable room, convenient location, and easy access to everything on property, it made for a relaxed and low-effort getaway. While the resort may not be the newest, we really like the main pool area. I'll definitely opt for the Lahaina/Napili towers again next time. This is a great resort, especially for families looking for a laid-back Maui stay with nice views and plenty to do.

That said, some common items are definitely overpriced, and you can find better deals just a short walk or drive away. Still, the $50 all-you-can-drink option (coffee, tea, juice, and soda) was absolutely worth it -- super convenient and a great value for resort guests who want unlimited refills throughout the day good for the entire stay.

Maui is the most expensive of the Hawaiian Islands and we wanted something somewhat affordable that was a step up from a youth hostel. We are too old to be sharing bathrooms! Here are the Pros and Cons to this hotel: PROS: 1. The hotel manager was very kind. We were checking in late, so he taped an envelope with my info on the office window. He also repaired our shower drain, which wasn't draining properly. 2. Our room had a full kitchen. 3. Great location, in walking distance to a few restaurants. 4. Laundry facilities available on site, for $1.00 to wash and $1.00 to dry. 5. Ocean views from second floor balcony. 6. Cozy sitting area near sea wall. 7. Free beach equipment (boogie boards, coolers, etc) to borrow, as well as beach towels. CONS: 1. No A/C in our room. I didn't think that would be a problem, since there were nice ocean breezes, but our room got very hot, even with a ceiling fan and a floor fan blowing. I had a hard time sleeping. 2. Very thin walls. We could hear our neighbor in his bathroom at 5 am. 3. Tiny bugs in the kitchen and bathroom. They were everywhere. 4. Tight parking spots. Luckily, we had rented a compact car. 5. No beach access. That being said, in Hawaii by law, there are no private beaches. Every hotel and resort must provide a specified number of beach access parking spots. We visited the beach at the Hyatt Regency Resort and parked there for free. 6. No TV in the room. This didn't really bother us, however, since we were too busy to watch TV most of the time, anyway. Overall, we had a good stay, but we will splurge for a hotel with A/C next time.
